HB156

Repeals limit on severance tax revenues remitted to parishes in Louisiana.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the limit on severance tax revenues remitted to parishes in Louisiana. It removes the cap on the dollar amount of severance tax revenues that can be remitted to the parish where natural resources are severed or produced. Effective July 1, 2027, one-fifth of severance tax revenues on natural resources will be remitted to the parish, regardless of the amount. The amendment will be submitted to voters in the November 3, 2026, statewide election.
